Avro Lancaster ground-air radios
Could someone tell me which receiver(s) a Lancaster would have carried in early 1944, and their frequency ranges?
Thanks. |

Re: Avro Lancaster ground-air radios
Type R1155 or one of the variants, possibly type F.
The receiver covered the frequency band 75 kHz to 18.5 MHz in five ranges. http://www.duxfordradiosociety.org/r...155/r1155.html http://pa0pzd.com/airforce/general-a...raf-lancaster/ http://www.duxfordradiosociety.org/r...-lanc-rep.html |

Re: Avro Lancaster ground-air radios
Do you mean W/T or R/T?

Re: Avro Lancaster ground-air radios
Sorry it was R/T … and thanks RSwank. (Following some P/W information about Luftwaffe attempts to disrupt bomber R/T with airborne jammers, I’m trying to match this with what little I know of German jamming sets).
